Equipment

  • Steamer (if you don't have a steamer, pot or frying pan with a lid)
  • 8 x small pudding mold or cup lined with oven paper, or heat-resistant paper cup
  • a bowl

Ingredients

  • 100 gram All purpose flour
  • 2 teaspoon Baking powder
  • 80 gram Fine granulated sugar
  • 2 Large eggs
  • 35 ml Milk
  • 40~45 gram Sweetened condensed milk
  • 60 ml Vegetable oil
  • 5~15 ml Soy sauce (5 ml = 1 teaspoon, 15 ml = 1 tablespoon)

Instructions

  • Sift the all-purpose flour into a bowl, add baking powder and sugar, and mix well with a whisk.
  • Add eggs, milk, and sweetened condensed milk and mix well. 
  • Then add vegetable oil and mix until blended.
  • Add soy sauce and mix.
  • Pour the batter into a pudding mold / cup lined with oven paper or a heat-resistant paper cup. Note that if you pour too much batter, it will overflow during steaming.
  • Steam on high heat for 15 to 18 minutes in a steamer. If you stick a bamboo skewer and the batter doesn't come, it's done. ( If you can't steam all at once, steam them in two parts.)

Notes

Since the taste differs depending on the soy sauce, the amount of soy sauce has a range of 5 to 15 ml. Add it little by little and adjust to your liking.
